( i am )
this was my first pregnancy, but what are the possibilities of a tubal pregnancy? & are there any symptoms?please help.
Dear Sharon:
Following any pregnancy, the average time for return of menses is 6 weeks and it takes 12 weeks for 9/10 ladies to have resumed menstrual cycles.
An ectopic pregnancy is associated with bleeding and abdominal pain.
If the report following the abortion was that everything was normal, there is very low likelihood that you had an ectopic pregnancy.
